Since the civil strife in Sichuan and Sichuan, the civil servants and generals of the Chengdu court have been worried about whether the Ming army will take the opportunity to interfere with them.

They went north to inquire about the news, and east to inquire about the news.

The northern Sichuan Military Region had 20,000 elite troops left by Wu Lin, and Wu Jie's son Wu Gong was guarding there. In addition, the Shu Road was difficult to reach the blue sky, so the ministers were not very worried, and they felt that even if the Ming army launched an attack from northern Sichuan, it would take a long time.

They have enough reaction time to launch reinforcements to the Hanzhong area.

However, the defense line in eastern Sichuan was only placed after Wu Lin took office as Privy Councilor. Whether it was the military and horse, the ability of the chief officer, could not be compared with that of northern Sichuan.

Moreover, there are waterways in the eastern Sichuan area to be used. If you really want to fight, it may not be difficult for the attacking party, so the Chengdu imperial court has invested quite a lot in the eastern Sichuan war zone.

Wu Lin sent his admired general Mao Zhiwen to guard the troops, commanding more than 20,000 troops, built defense lines along the waterway, and set up layers of defense, resisting step by step, luring the enemy into depth, gathering and annihilation.

But I have to say that Wu Lin’s arrangement is very reasonable and has military literacy. But the problem is that Wu Lin never fought head-on with the Ming army from the beginning to the end.

All his understanding of the Ming army came from military intelligence, from the mouths of others, and from the descriptions of others. He had never faced the powerful military deterrence of the Ming army directly.

So although he recognized the strength and elite of the Ming army, in terms of strategic deployment, he should have placed the Ming army at the level of what he believed to be the elite - the Yue Family Army, and arranged the Ming army to cope with the Yue Family Army.

He felt that he had enough understanding and estimates of the Ming army, and believed that he had attached enough importance to the Ming army, and he used the level of Yue's army to deal with the Ming army.

However, he overestimated Mao Zhiwen's fighting will, overestimated the fighting will of the Song army, and underestimated the fighting literacy of the Ming army.

As a result, the Eastern Sichuan War Zone was defeated by the Ming army in one battle, and the four prefectures fell in an instant. Many people surrendered directly and did not fight at all.

There was a rebellion in the area of ​​Zhongzhou. Now the Daningjian, Kuizhou, Yun'an army, Wanzhou and Zhongzhou bandits are connected together. A transportation line along the Minjiang River waterway has been opened by the Ming army. The local bandits in Sichuan and Shu have merged with the Ming army, and the Ming army is about to go further into Sichuan and Shu.

Their next goal must be Fuzhou, and the next step is Chongqing Prefecture, followed by Luzhou, and then the Chengdu Plain is directly in front of the Ming army, with the Chengdu gate opening open.

This was the route of Liu Bei's entry into Shu back then, and it was also the route of the enemy's attack when the regime established in Shu was destroyed many times.

What else can I do in Chengdu?

At Wu Lin's memorial service, the civil and military officials in the court looked at Zhao Buxi, who was stunned with strange expressions, and his thoughts were twisting.

Zhao Buxi was completely stupid and didn't know what to do. He didn't even know how to continue using the method of stroking the coffin and cried to win people's hearts.

And at this extremely sensitive and weird stall, Ma Yongkang stood up and relieved Zhao Buxi's temporary crisis.

The method is still the same as before, and we talk about the revolutionary policies and liquidation policies of the Ming Dynasty.

surrender?

What Ming Kingdom wants is your life.

Some officials felt that the pressure was too great and cried loudly, calling Ming Guo brutal, Su Yonglin brutal, and Song Jun was incompetent and unable to protect him, wasting his efforts in vain.

He obviously didn't want to resist, and he clearly wanted to continue to live a good life and be the best after surrendering, but why did the damn Mingguo and Su Yonglin just refuse to agree?

Why do I have to die? Why do I have to die?

Where did the bullshit come from? What's wrong with me as a good person?

They vented their crazily and cursed their angrily, cursing Su Yonglin from his eighteen generations to his grandson's generation.

Because they think Su Yonglin will lose his sons and grandchildren.

After listening to their curses and scolding, Ma Yongkang smiled coldly.

"You guys cursed Su Yonglin day and night. Can you scold Su Yonglin to death? If you can't scold him to death, he can still lead troops to take your lives!"

Of course, it will not be able to scold Su Yonglin to death. This is just their wish, but if the wish can be realized so easily, the Ming Kingdom should not have existed at all.

So in the end they still have to recognize the reality, know what they are facing, and know what they should do.

Although they were very dissatisfied with Zhao Buxi, under tremendous pressure, they did not think about overthrowing Zhao Buxi and taking the initiative to seek peace, but continued to respect Zhao Buxi as their emperor and maintain the existence of the shaky and leaking broken house of the Chengdu court.

First support the broken house, otherwise the broken house will be gone and they will face the wind.

The most direct trouble Zhao Buxi faced was to solve it, but more troubles were still there.

For example, the Ming army and the Song army itself.

The most urgent task is to resist the Ming army. We cannot let the Ming army really break through Chongqing Prefecture and Luzhou. We will really go deep into the Sichuan-Shu Plain to face Chengdu directly, and we must stop them.

But in this way, the problem arises.

When Wu Lin was alive, the army would still obey orders because of Wu Lin's words. However, Wu Lin is no longer here now. If he dies, will the army still obey orders?

Zhao Buxi developed a serious uneasy feeling.

For this emotional consideration, Zhao Buxi felt that he had to replace Lu, Qi Xiuwei, Xie Qingsheng and Du Ren, and replace him with someone he trusted to be the general to command the troops. Only in this way can he be at ease.

But now they are all commanding troops. If you are not careful, isn’t it a realistic version of the Huangqiao Mutiny?

I don’t know whose heart the Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty was alive.

So, what should I do?

Zhao Buxi is best at economic work, and he is still good at economic development, such as creating a fiancé and making money.

Although it is quite good at political work, it is not completely impossible.

Only in military affairs, he was truly completely incapable and had no experience, so he had entrusted Wu Lin to carry out the work before, but now Wu Lin is gone, and he has lost a trusted commander.

Since he has no trust in the commander, he can only do it himself. He does not talk about war, but at least he must control the military power in his own hands.

The premise of coming to you is to obtain thorough military power and make the army completely the emperor's army. The commanders are those they trust, not those who ask for money at any time.

How to obtain complete military power?

If Wu Lin might have thought of this joint before his death, he reminded Zhao Buxi, mainly to allow him to control the four generals in a targeted manner so that he can control the army.

But Wu Lin may have been seriously ill, but he still has not suppressed the inertia of the senior officials of the Southern Song Dynasty who like to talk around the bush for so many years. The advice given to Zhao Buxi seemed to be a bit of accusation in Zhao Buxi.

Originally, Zhao Buxi planned to smack a few guys he felt was not very trustworthy. In this state, Zhao Buxi's thoughts became increasingly radical.

Zhao Buxi thought of a good operation method for military power.

He decided to use the reason of commemoration with Wu Lin, the chief generals of the four armies came back with their confidants, and then took away their military power, and then sent people he trusted to take over the troops stationed in other places, and then mobilized these trustworthy armies to resist the invasion of the Ming army, and completed it in one go.

Just like putting an elephant in the refrigerator, just open the refrigerator door and push the elephant in, and it will be solved. Does the whole process require any detailed planning?

Not needed.

They came, were controlled, and then announced the removal of military power in front of them, and then sent people to take over military power.

Does the whole process take three to five days?

Perfect!
